Dan Goldman, a Levi Strauss & Co. heir who was lead Democratic counsel during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, won the US House primary in New York’s 10th Congressional District, a race that was reshaped by a court ruling earlier this year and marked by fierce competition.

Goldman, who staked his campaign on his record as a defender of democracy, won with 25.8% of the vote at 12:39 a.m., according to the Associated Press. State Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou was second with 23.7% of the vote, followed by incumbent US Representative Mondaire Jones.
